Serge Beynaud – Zangoule

Posted on August 30, 2018 by aaabadboy

Ivory Coast’s ever dapper ‘Prince’ of Coupé-Décalé music follows up his somewhat breezier hits of the summer, Babatchai and Na Big Love (featuring Nigerian Afro-Pop star Yemi Alade) with this beautiful blast of sheer energy that I currently have on … Continue reading →

BOOMTOWN CHAPTER 10 – PART 1

Posted on August 17, 2018 by aaabadboy

I’m still trying to gather all my thoughts, feelings and memories from Boomtown into coherent form. I’m not sure I’ll ever recover for long enough to do so, at least until I must dive head first into next year’s proceedings. … Continue reading →

Kamille – Emotional (Piano Version)

Posted on August 17, 2018 by aaabadboy

It’s still a rarely recent occurrence that I’ve made my peace with auto-tune and began to appreciate the over produced, over glossed shine of modern Bashment, Afrobeats and RNB. There’s still very few tracks that I gel with enough to … Continue reading →
